A Story of Washington Etiquette.
The late Ex-Governor Morgan, OF
New York, told this good story on
himself:
'.He had been Governor OF New
York, and, OF course, familiar with
public and social life in Albany and
elsewhere; but when he became sena-
tor the question Of precedence was en-
tirely new to him. He gave a dinner
at which Seward was present as Secre-
tary OF State, as well as Sir Frederick
Bruce, the British Minister, and Mr..
Tassara, the Spanish Envoy. Tassa-
ra was the senior, or dean, as it is
called, OF the Diplomatic Corps, hay
ing served longest at Washington; and
by the rules established at the Con-
gress of Vienna the question OF prece-
dence is settled among diplomatists
according to the seniority o. their
service at any particular court or
capital. Governor Morgan knew moth
ing of this rule, and when dinner was
announced he asked Sir Frederick
Bruce to take out Mrs. Morgan. But
can't do that, said Sir Frederick,
st is Tassara's right He is the dean
.Pshawp exclaimed the Governor, 4
don't care who is dean, England is a.
greater country than Spain, and you.
ought to go before a Spaniard.'
Bruce, in his dilemma, appealed to
Seward, and Seward went up to Nor
gan. My dear Governor, you must

Temperate Eating and More Ex-
erciSe,

Timely comment is made by 'The
Pittsburg Press upon the growing
practice of digging graves with den
tine,' the writer finding notable il
Illustrations in the deaths within few
years Of such men as Matt Carpenter,
w. H. Vanderbilt, Hancock, Hend-
ricks, Grant, Mcclellan, David Davis,
Arthur, Logan and many less prom.
inent "high hvers" of sedentary
habits: "Secretary Manning has been
disabled from similar cause, and
President Cleveland is, for the second
time this winter, laid up in bed with
rheumatism, govt, or something of
that kind, brought on by too much
eating and not enough exercise. Now
Cleveland and Sheridan talk about
the massage treatment or a SOFT Of
Turkish bath treatment to reduce
their burdensome flesh! Mechanical
removal of blubber, IN other words!
What they and all such should do is
to live moderately and exercise freely.
"The world laughs at Gladstone,
chopping down his almost daily tree
at Hawarden. as a crank; but in con
sequence Of tree-chopping and other
heathful exercises Gladstone is a pow
er in the world at near eighty years Of
age; and Emperor Wilhelm, who takes
his daily horseback exercise, is q live
~ old boy OF ninety. How many
eighty-year-old able-bodied men in
public life have we in the United
States? Washington living and the
packing OF heavy dinners here and
there about the country uses Ameri-
cans up at a time when English states
men are at their best. Bancroft, the
historian, is over four score and still
healthful and happy, but he takes his
daily long walks as he has done these
twenty years. But Americans OF the
physical qualities OF Bancroft are
scarce.
"What our prominent and we'll to-
do people need is temperance IN eat
ing and an abundance but not excess
Of exercise. More of plain bread, beef
and tea, and less of turtle, oysters
and wine; more Of active exercise and
less of sedentary occupations; more
of walking and less OF carriage riding,
and so better health and longer lives.

something more about her.
1t was the evening OF thatsame day,
remember, that he came to me in
the parlor, and drawing me into a
quiet corner, said he wanted to ask
my advice upon a very important
subject.
Did Think it would be possible for
him to make up the fir. pillow all him
sell? He used to hem the sails OF his
toy boats when a little shaver, and
served a good apprentice ship in sewing
on buttons when a college boy, and
thought he could still man age a needle
pretty well, if I.would only have the
patience to show him.
Ofcourse, with q Woman's inconse-
quence, I Immediately offered to do
the whole thing for him. But mol. he
thanked me just the same, he said, but
would really prefer to dosit himself.

still have stored away in my nature q
sdeal OF romance, and this fancy
,of the young man touched q

would give an added value to the
pretty gift if it was all his own work.

FARM NOTES.

1t always pays to plant trees.
Use sharp hoe, the dull hoe wastes
strength.
Peas will do the work of retaining
poor land where clover will not stand.
The Short-horn bull, @Duke of Con-
naught," recently sold in England for
$22, 500.
In Australia many wool-gr0wers
shear their sheep by machinery driven
by steam.
Make only good butter. 1t is Just as
easy TO make as bad butter, and will al
ways find ready sale.
Muncie, Ind, has the largest gas
well in the world. 1t is flowing at the
rate Of II, 900. 900 feet per day.
Sunfiower seed, which can be easily
grown without trouble, forms food of
which fowls are extremely fond.
Don't feed little chicks until they are
thirty-six hours old. If fed before that
time their digestive organs are impair
cd
Feed plenty of carrots and plenty of
grain, Keep the cows warm and you
may have fairly yellow butter in win
ter.
Bees are the only farm stock that
give valuable product, and yet cost
nothing beyond being provided with
shelter.
To cure horse of the bolts, drench
with one quart of strong tea, made from
our common wild sage. 1t will bring
relief Ia one hour.
To have the best success with small
fruits, manure highly and give thorough
cultivation. Better raise 300 bushels
on one acre than on three.
Massachusetts experiments show that
planting medium-siZed whole potatoes
gives better returns than when half po-
tatoes Of the same size are planted.
The freshest eggs are the heaviest,
and when placed in pan of water will
sink to the bottom at once. Older eggs
will sink partly, while stale eggs will
float on top.
Dairy schools have proved beneficial
in Europe. The agricultural college of
Mississippi is the only one in this coun-
try where special attention Is given TO
practical butter and cheese making.
Several men have sold to farmers, at
s. per dozen, eggs which they said
would hatch valuable chickens. They
promised to pay s. apiece for all
chickens raised. The eggs Were boiled.

also to give false pedigrees of animals.

Better times are upon US Every
thing indicates that the year 1887 is to
be one of the best Oregon has ever seen.
If people viii only use the lessons of
thrift and economy that few hard
years just past have taught them, the
next few years may indeed be a grand
era of prosperity. Economy is not in
consistent with the highest degree of
enterprise: it only makes the results of
intelligent enterprise more substantial
and enduring. Industry, economy and
in building up either private fortune or
developing state-are now, have been
in the past and will continue To be in
the future.

Prohibition leaders claim that they
will be able to poll $1,000 votes in New
York in November. This is a large
claim, and though the increase in their
vote in recent years has been steady, it
has not been large enough each year to
make so great gain as this probable.
1t was nearly $4,000 in 1888, nearly -.
900 in 1854, nearly 81 900 in 1885 and
over $4,000 in 1886. There is a regular
advance of from 5000 to 5000 votes a
year, but the present claims is for 1000
advance. They may make it, however.

Dry, dusty hay makes very unpal-
atable meal for horses that have to work
hard. The best of nay Is liable to be
n little dusty at this time of the year,
and Is not injured at all ny being damp
ened little before fed.
Calves should be kept growing from
the start. A month-old calf should be
fed an ounce or so of oat meal or fine
bran every day. Young calves should
be carefully guarded against overfeed-
ing and vermin.
If you expect your grain TO come up
evenly, do not plow a whole field before
you sow, when you have n few acres
plowed, then SOW while the surface is
moist, before it has time to dry out.
This is especially necessary In the In
land Empire, where the surface dries
rapidly.

A severe warning to Chinese miners
comes from an Idaho mining region
A whole camp of Chinese miners were
slain in night. Opinion is divided as
to the authorship of the bloody deed
but the whites, the reds, and the yel-
lows, are suspected. More than likely
1t was the whites who look with an evil
eye upon Chinese intrusi on in Ameri
can mines. The American miner kicks
hard at the Chinese miner.

James G..Blaine says prohibition has
been a grand success in Maine, that il
has greatly lessened or practically abol-

Neal Dow says the same; about every

has given the same testimony to the
efficiency Of prohibition in Name.
